Early Welsh cinema and the Welsh on the big screen are to be showcased at a festival of 25 classic movies in Aberystwyth.

Fflics will include some of the most "significant British films" from the first half of the 20th Century.

Richard Burton's first film, and a newly restored version of How Green Was My Valley and The Life Story of David Lloyd George are on the programme.

The National Library of Wales will jointly host the event next month.

It will include a restored print of the 1941 film about a south Wales mining community, How Green Was My Valley, which has been loaned by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which produces the Oscars.
